Hartford Public Library announces the opening of David Borawski's "At The Start Of The End Of History" at its ArtWalk exhibition space at the Downtown Library. The exhibit is a provocative look at recent game-changing societal events that define our time and place in history, and will be on display through Jan. 17, 2014, during regular library hours. The library invites the public to celebrate the exhibit opening at a reception with the artist on Friday, Dec. 13 at 6 p.m. Refreshments will be served. Both the reception and exhibit are free and open to all.< About the Artist

Hartford artist David Borawski creates work that is a conceptually driven investigation of contemporary politics, history, art, design, popular and consumerist culture, and personal biography.

His work is presented as single works or in installations that combine multiple individual pieces (sculpture, video, photography, painting, drawing), arranged within the proscribed space to form provocative visual and intellectual layers. "At The Start Of The End Of History" suggests connections, similarities, oddities and mysteries in iconic societal events, as the viewer navigates the veiled layers of information and follows the bread crumb trail out of the forest. About the ArtWalk

ArtWalk at Hartford Public Library offers one of the largest and most stunning exhibition spaces in greater Hartford and the opportunity for visitors to view art in a magnificent setting in their own community. The state-of-the art gallery rises above Main Street along a glass wall that floods the space with ambient light during the day and appears to glow as a jewel box at night. Exhibitions offer an array of art experiences that reflect a variety of media, styles, and cultures in the art world, providing diverse viewing experiences, and allowing for many tastes. Because of the unusual cable system in place, one of the most unique aspects of the ArtWalk is that any wall and lighting configuration or arrangement can change with the nature of every new exhibition. The ArtWalk is made possible through the generosity of donors, especially the Beatrice Fox Auerbach Foundation Fund at Hartford Foundation for Public Giving. Visit artwalk.hplct.org.
